The Mental Illness Thread

[robvalue]

Thank you I have to always fight it and put it in it's place, if I wallow in it then I'll be consumed. Some days it feels like the bottom drops out, and for no particular reason, my depression goes to the extreme. Since there are no thoughts to analyze like I've learnt to do, and I lose what little enjoyment I get while doing anything, all I can do is wait it out until my mind manages to get a grip again. Lately the number of days I've been like that have been somewhat lower, thankfully! Maybe I'm making some progress mentally, if not with my ME. Although I do manage to look after my bunnies and walk the dog most days now, which I am proud of. That's about all I can do in a day, I have to push myself really hard to do very much else and I then pay for it the next day(s).

On days like today I still don't want to live, but I can manage to endure the day better. This forum has been a great help to me
